I claim: 
     
       1. The compound 3-allylthio-4-nitrophenyl 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl ether. 
     
     
       2. A heribicidal composition comprising an herbicidally effective amount of the compound of claim 1 in admixture with at least one compatible agriculturally acceptable carrier. 
     
     
       3. A method for controlling undesired broadleaf plant growth which comprises applying to the locus where control is desired an herbicidally effective amount of the compound of claim 1.
